The Block's most controversial façade gets a new paint job

It was the most controversial façade transformation on last season of The Block, and it looks like Ronnie and Georgia’s Elsternwick home has tongues wagging again – this time, thanks to a paint job by its new owners.

It was the façade that divided a nation. Ronnie and Georgia took a risk, and made a daring design statement to their Block house exterior with a bold tile choice and dark colour scheme.

However, that is now a thing of the past. An image posted to @theblockinatorblog’s Instagram feed shows the once all-charcoal coloured exterior has had a new paint job.

“In a crazy turn of events, the new owners of @ronnieandgeorgia Elsternwick home have completely repainted the property. Not just one part, but the whole entire house. Was not expecting this at all! Certainly looks a lot like like @sticksandwombat home,” the post said.

The public began tagging Ronnie and Georgia to let them know about this major facelift. So how do they feel about the change?

“Thanks to everyone who’s been tagging us in the @theblockinatorblog recent post, we love seeing your comments,” they wrote.

“The new owners of our Block home have repainted the front facade (swipe to see pic) - what do you guys think? We’re obviously partial to the darker colours, a very purposeful design choice that not only divided the judges but it would seem the public too!”

They went on to say that essentially, everyone has their own taste, and that’s not only OK, it makes life interesting.

“Here’s the thing peeps, different strokes for different folks. Imagine how boring life would be if we all loved the same things. What’s most important here is that the new owners are loving their Block home and if that means painting the front facade to suit their specific tastes, then so be it 😘.”

The new paint job plays it much safer than the daring duo had originally planned.
